{{{ Hi Everyone! }}}

Tonight was the first moment in quite a while that I have spent leisure time online so I wanted to say "hi" to everyone! My life has been a *****aotic lately and, while I miss you all more than I can convey in words, it was necessary for me to step away from the internet for a while. My husband is in Asia on business for several weeks so I have been a "single" Mom lately. Also, my son just started daycare last week and it is taking a huge emotional toll on me (and tonight he is wheezing and not sleeping well ) . To top it off, my job has never been busier or more stressful. And...get this...remember my past posts about therapy...and my questioning if my therapist is any good? Well...I tried to stick it out with him. This was a bad idea on so many levels. Why, you may ask? Well, it appears that he formed counter-transference feelings towards me. And I do not mean loving ones. I frequently questioned him about therapy and how it works, etc. That is just how I am. Turns out that I triggered a past memory of someone who criticized him when he was younger...and so I reminded him of that person. So the ONE person I told my most traumatic moment to...the ONE person I put all that trust into...does not like me. Just great, right? Needless to say, I am definitely not in therapy any longer. Also...and I hate to admit this, but...sometimes I feel *more* depressed after reading the posts on this board. I think I am just tired and missing my husband...but part of the reason I have not been here is that most of you seem to be having a wonderful, well-deserved parade...and the last thing I want to do is rain on it. However, I want to say a GREAT, BIG thank you to Ronna and Shannon and Alex and everyone else who asked about me lately...it means so much to me that you care. You have no idea! I also want to thank my Secret Pal...she is just about the coolest thing on the planet. When life resumes to some form of normalcy, I will try to get back on the board. In the meantime, feel free to send any website updates and I will make them as soon as I am able to. I love you all...I really do! Hugs, Jersey Mom

(((((Jersey Mom)))))) I hope things get better for you. You have been missed!!! I also hope your son feels better and perhaps it is just the weather causing his breathing problems. Here is a to make you feel better! ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris

JerseyMom!!! Hey Woman! I have missed you...Keep that skinny chin up of yours. I would ask around maybe even on the NJ board about a therapist. Maybe someone can recommend one to you. You are such a sweet person. I am so glad to have met you and I hope to see you soon. Even if we just go walking one day, that would be great. Talk to you soon!! Your Friend, Shannon

Hope everything works out for you. We've missed seeing your beautiful face on the boards. Karla

oh, Jersey, i am so sorry about your therapist, that must have been awful for you, and all that is going on in your life, I know how hard it must be. I work in daycare, and I have a daughter, so I know how hard the separation from your son is for you. Hang in there, it will get easier, and in the end it will be great for you and your son. We are always thinking of you, and we want you to lean on us, so don't feel bad about it, thats what we are here for. Karyn

Sorry to hear about your therapist. Maybe he needs to find a new line of work... lol We do miss you around here, but understandt that life has you busy right now. Check in when you can! {{hugs}} Susan

I've missed you sweetie. You need to come out and play a bit more often. We do love you you know Sending you love and hugs, Ronna

lots going on for you---take care--- Cathy
